When many media commented on the Premier League semi-finals, they generally believed that Manchester United's overall strength was slightly better than the other three teams.
This is the characteristic of Manchester United under Ferguson's coaching.
The Red Devils played very integrally, not only in the offense, but also in their defense.
Overall, Manchester United are not used to defensive counterattacks. Even if Ferguson arranged for nine players to retreat, in fact, the blood of the offensive football still flows in the team's bones.
The football field is indeed full of unpredictability, but it must be admitted that the advantage of overall strength can bring higher fault tolerance, whether it is in a ninety-minute game or a long season.
In a highly information-based world, there is no such thing as a so-called dusty pearl. As long as the young players take a bit of a head, fifteen or sixteen years old, or even earlier, they immediately pay attention to the strong teams, such as Walcott and Tott of Arsenal Gareth Bale of Nam Tottenham.
In the penny-for-money European transfer market, Manchester United, with its rich money, can always find better players.
Anderson, Nani and Hargreaves, who have spent more than 20 million on the introduction, are players who have already proven their strength in the Portuguese Super League and the Bundesliga, as well as in the Champions League. Players like Nantes and Lucas Reiva are reliable.
The team built with these players naturally has stronger overall strength.
Sometimes, Liverpool can't play games that Manchester United can play.
Upper decision decided by the economic background.
With so much less revenue than Manchester United, it is destined that Liverpool cannot afford such a large player lineup.
Benitez can only barely create a competitive lineup, supplemented by a group of good-value players such as Benayon, Pennant and Lucas Reiva, try to build a competitive Team.
What made Liverpool up and down was extremely fortunate is that their only big money in recent years, they spent 40 million euros to introduce Yang Yang from Ajax, the result proved to be an extremely wise decision.
This not only relieved everyone in Liverpool, but also gave Benitez a higher confidence.
Yang Yang is continually scoring goals, making breakthroughs, constantly improving his strength, and also constantly raising the upper limit of Liverpool.
As the team's head coach, all he needs to do is to constantly strengthen the team's foundation and lower limit, and make every effort to give play to Yang Yang's threat and strength on the court.
Many people say that Benitez does not like star players, which is wrong.
What he doesn't like is the kind of star player who doesn't have enough strength but wants to have tactical privileges.
But for a player like Yang Yang, any head coach in the world will treat it as a treasure, including him Benitez.
Because he knew that his trust and support would always get a return from Yang Yang.

After Manchester United lost a goal, they continued to defend their counterattacks, using two-winged Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo as counter-attack weapons.
The Red Devils didn't panic because of backwardness.
Instead, not long after the start of the second half, Liverpool made a mistake.
It is also in the penalty area and a corner kick.
Giggs quickly launched a tactical corner, Rooney shot directly from the edge of the penalty area, the Liverpool player failed to block in time, Reina could not save himself, and even let this shot pass through the densely restricted area and flew to the rear .
Tevez caught the ball and knocked Rooney's crooked shot into the goal of Liverpool.
One to one!
Manchester United equalized the score!
Ferguson was excited on the sidelines.
He has always been aware that Liverpool's defense is not as solid as Manchester United. What really scares them is the midfield.
Gerald, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano formed the midfield, which is the strongest in Europe.
But the back line is not.
Last season the Reds had a healthy Daniel Ag, but this season the Danish central defender was injured and his state has not been able to recover, while Hypia is already old.
During the league, the game is one after another, it is impossible to give Liverpool enough time to adjust.
To put it bluntly, the overall strength is not strong enough.
There was a smile on Ferguson's lips when he thought of this.
The two sides returned to the same starting line, and he once again saw the hope of victory.
After winning the Double Reds, the next is the Christmas Devil schedule he is best at.
Yang Yang's peak state has been maintained for four months, which is very incredible. He has shown his amazing stability, but even God, it is impossible to continue this state.
Either Christmas or January, he will definitely fall!
Especially after getting Mr. World Football.
Ferguson knew too much about professional football and professional players. He clearly saw that Yang Yang was able to maintain his state because he had a clear goal and direction in mind and he wanted to get Mr. World Football.
But when he achieved his goal and reached his destination, how did he go next?
Sometimes, some things seem simple and easier said than done, but it is not as easy as going to the sky.
For example, Ronaldinho's state of rapid decline after the peak, is it just because he is not disciplined enough?
No, there is also a very important part of the reason, that is, he has lost the direction and motivation of struggle.
He is already the first person in world football, and he has obtained the supreme honor that everyone dreams of.
No matter how hard he tries and how he fights, he will get it again at most.
After the peak ushered in the trough, this is human nature.
This is the case with the team and so are the players.
Once Yang Yang appears low, then Liverpool is bound to fall from the leader position.
This is the opportunity for Manchester United!
...
After seeing Tevez score, Ferguson was proud, as if he had seen the scene where Manchester United reversed Liverpool's summit.
But soon, he seemed to be slapped and his face swollen.
Because he realized that he had made a very serious mistake.
Now, Yang Yang has not yet received the supreme honor he dreamed of.
He was still Yang Yang, full of hunger!

"Liverpool's penalty area steals from the front!"
"Mascellano passed the ball to Xavi Alonso."
"Harvey Alonso made a long pass directly to the frontcourt ..."
...
In the exclamation of more than 50,000 Liverpool fans, the Red Army made a quick counterattack.
Yang Yang threw away Gary Neville, rushed through Manchester United's half with a swift speed, and went straight to the penalty area.
Manchester United just equalized the score. Players on the court wanted to get a boost. On the previous attack, the team pressed a little too much. This led to Liverpool's counterattack. Only the back line dragged Vidic and Ferdinand.
Vidic returned to defense for the first time, chasing the ball with Yang Yang.
The Serbian central defender's turning speed and starting speed are slow, but Yang Yang's position is further back, which caused the two to chase the outside of Manchester United's big penalty area almost at the same time.
The ball fell slowly, and Vidic judged the point of fall. He blocked Yang Yang with his body to the left.
In Vidic's impression, Yang Yang has always been known for speed, explosiveness, and dribbling breakthroughs. Physical fitness is not a strong point. This leads the Serbian central defender to believe that as long as he presses slightly, he can limit Yang Yang.
But when the two came into physical contact, Vidic realized that he was wrong.
Yang Yang's body looks very thin, but the strength confrontation is not bad at all.
Compared with Vidic, such a powerful and powerful man, he is of course inadequate, but it is unrealistic to want to eat him at a stretch, especially Vidic also has to consider making a move.
Vidic was tall and tall, and he had many different options.
At this time, there were only four players near Manchester United's penalty area. They were Vidic who chased Yang Yang back, Hargreaves behind him, and Ferdinand in the middle. As long as the ball was passed, whether it was for Ferdinand in the middle or back. Goalkeepers are very good choices, and they can fly directly with the big kick.
Originally, Vidic meant to suppress Yang Yang with his body, and then squeeze him away, grab the best position, and then pass back or cross.
This is undoubtedly the safest way.
Suddenly, he realized that his body failed to suppress Yang Yang easily as expected.
Not only that, but Yang Yang seemed to be ruthless, and regardless of the danger, he protruded out of his head and rushed forward to meet the falling ball.
This one just pushed the ball out, leaving Vidic's kick empty.
The Serbian central defender was shocked and took his feet in time. Otherwise, he would definitely hit Yang Yang's forehead directly. Blood splashing was inevitable on the spot.
But precisely because of this, Yang Yang took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Vidic's entanglement and quickly caught up.
I don't know if it was because of the attack mistake just now, Van der Sar was a bit wrong in grasping the timing of the attack, or Yang Yang took this, unexpectedly, in short, until Van der Sar attacked At that time, Yang Yang took the lead to catch up with the ball.
A buckle, Yang Yang dunked the ball over the goalkeeper Vandersall ...
The whole Anfield stadium burst into thunderous shouts at this moment.
After Yang Yang avoided Van der Sar, another arrow step caught up with a push from the inside of his left foot.
In the middle of the road, Ferdinand quickly returned to the penalty area and was shocked. He directly slid a shovel on the ground and wanted to clear it before the ball rolled to the goal line, but the final result was that even someone slid into the ball together. goal.
After he slipped the shovel, the lawn was a mess.
After Yang Yang pushed the shot, the whole person's momentum did not diminish, and he rushed directly out of the court, raising his hands all the way, screaming hard, celebrating his goal.
Behind him, the head referee finally sounded the effective whistle of the goal!
Less than three minutes after Manchester United just equalized the score, Liverpool relied on a quick counterattack. Yang Yang staged a scored second and broke Manchester United's goal again.
Two to one!
When Yang Yang rushed to the bottom of the Liverpool fans' stands, all the fans in the audience were shouting his name wildly.
The player who has just won the European Golden Globe, the World Club Cup champion and the best player in the team, once again saved Liverpool!
More than 50,000 fans in the audience watched him in the corner, kneeling on the turf.
The fists raised high, and the iconic colored hand rope worn on his left hand.
This scene is unforgettable for a long time!
